Method evidence record

Longitudinal Biographical Research

Longitudinal Biographical Research (LBR) is a qualitative approach that combines in-depth biographical or narrative interviewing with a repeated, time-extended data-collection design. Participants are interviewed at multiple time points — sometimes years apart — so that researchers can trace how individuals construct, revise, and re-narrate their life stories as circumstances change. The method captures both the content of life histories and the dynamic process through which meaning is made and remade over time.
